You're on your way to see Jurassic Park for the first time, and the person guiding the tour has told you to put your seatbelts on. The belts tighten around you, and the tour guide turns with their heart shaped glasses.
This isn't Jurassic Park. This is a Powerpoint presentation on Sol Ring.
Lyght (@ThePhiRexian), THE Sol Ring Contrarian, joins us this episode to talk Monster Hunter, Transformers comics, #IndominusPosting and the nuances of card choices, and how you don't have to play Sol Ring, Arcane Signet or Command Tower! (It's a bad feature!)

Hey you! Long time no see, lemme give you a hug!....oops, sorry about the crushed bones, I just got really excited.
Adventures await our hosts this episode! A Zelda game where you play as Zelda. Fallout crosses over with Doctor Who in a mod. Cole loses a game to his own hubris....except? Quinn falls head over heels into the loving arms of a giant swole badger. Usual stuff.

Two stalkers in the night meet in single combat. A single wrong move could end their life. They prepare to strike....oh, wait, Ward: Sacrifice a Creature. Dang it.
From a shoutout on Reddit to the battlefield between Assassin decks, there's quite a journey this episode. Bloomburrow is around the corner, new podcasts to recommend, a cheeky Boros card causes psychic (and lethal) damage, and a heaping of salt on top of it all!

Elden Ring cold open spoiler warning. Nothing is true, everything is permitted. *takes a puff* Beeeeautiful.
Quinn and Cole perform a Leap of Faith into this episode, with many recommendations from the community for Vibe Checks and anti-The One Ring tech. Following this, we swing into our usual Content chat about obsessive podcast listening, Wheel of Potential templating, and how cephalids becoming octopi is pretty sweet. Obligatory Doctor Who and #bloodricposting mentions cap off the episode.
